During the course of a training session, a client remarks that he is "cutting out all carbs" from his diet and just eating protein and vegetables to lose weight. How might you best respond to this, while staying within your scope of practice as a fitness professional? Carbohydrates are not required unless training for long periods of time; so, as long as sessions are kept short, this strategy should be fine. Carbohydrates provide more calories per gram than protein and fat, so they should be limited for effective weight loss. Carbohydrates are an important source of fuel for our body, and it is unnecessary to avoid them for weight loss. Cutting carbs may lead to inadequate fuel for optimal training, which can compromise weight-loss efforts. Carbohydrates contribute excess calories in our diet, and avoiding them is an effective weight-loss strategy during training.
